The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1887-05-28

This was followed by a statement,
compiled by Mr.. Gannett, involving
the same ideas, and avowedly offered
only as one Of many which might be
made to set forth 1.-THE things most
commonly believed to-day" among Uni
tarians.
The discussion which followed was
interesting and significant. The Rev.
David Utter, of Chicago, Immediately
moved asubstitute resolution, declaring
it to be beyond the province of the
Conference to deal in any way with
matters touching doctrine, or to make
any statements upon that subject. He
feared the effect of any attempt to
define the doctrinal teachings of Uni
tarianism. That was a matter to be
left solely to the churches individually.
He predicted that such action as was
urged would make more distinct "the
line Of cleavage" running through the
churches and foment differences al
ready existing. The debate showed a
strong feeling against any attempt to
put forward anything bearing the faint
est resemblance to a "creed." One
speaker did not want the Conference to
use the ominous words, 1--WE believe"
Another thought that any such man.
lfesto should not claim to come from the
Conference as body, but should be
signed by those voting for it, and carry
only the weight of their individual
names. But on the other side, it was
urged that it was absurd to deny the
right of the Conference to say what the
majority of the churches believed which
1t represented, or, as Mr.. Jones vigor-
ously remarked, Ito give the Confer
ence feet and hands, and deny it ton
gue." The ingenious form of the reso-
lutions was emphasized which commits
nobody, requires nobody's assent, con-
stltutes no test of fellowship, invades
none of the sacred rights of the most
ultra Congregationalism, and only
amounts to a bulletin as to the latest
doctrinal views from the Unitarian
camp. And the friends of the motion
evidently hoped that it would do some
thing toward allaying the differences
which the past policy of the Conference
had engendered. When at last the vote
was taken, the substitute of Mr.. Utter
was lost, and the motion of Mr.. Gan
nett prevailed by a majority of more
than three to one.
We cannot but congratulate our Uni
tartan friends upon this hopeful sign. 1t
seems to us a step in the right direction.
1t is only step. The "line of cleavage"
which was dwelt upon in the Confer
ence undoubtedly exists and nothing
can obliterate or check it. Because it
is line drawn upon distinct and ire
concilable differences in conviction
which will forever cripple and hinder
the work of Unitarianism. But it is
satisfaction to know that the majority
of Unitarian churches still hold even
Christianity. And it is especially graf
flying to be relieved from the specta-
Gle of body of intelligent men and
women, with very definite beliefs, de-
nying themselves the right to say in any
form, however general and noncommit-
tai, what those beliefs are. The West
ern Conference certainly ought to stand
the better with all reasoning people for
having found its tongue.

and great dramatic power. In none of these
particulars was Mr.. Min disappointing. He
acts thoughtfully. The spectator is never
permitted to feel that he Is wandering. He
thinks before he acts, and his thoughtful-
changes of facial expression, but in the care
full attention to the detail of action and to
the elaboration of each Scene." Mr.. Min
